This is One Cute Burp Cloth











I have some space to learn about pictures.  These photos do not do this burp cloth justice.  I was worried that the print was too busy, but I decided to use a contrasting fabric and it turned out pretty much the cutest thing ever.  

And I know I keep talking about it, but these really are so so soft.

These Dish Towels



I've posted on this before but these dish towels are a hit and with good reason.  I hated to, but I had to increase the price.  They just take so much time.  

Be on the lookout for more groupings - lately I've made some for Mother's Day (see "GiGi" up top) and it's a great gift for a new mom of three, who already has all the baby supplies she could need.  

What else?  Let me know.

Turns Out...


So I just figured out the whole Google Analytics thing for the blog.  Thanks to this great post. Honestly, I didn't think anyone was really reading it but it turns out there a quite a few people on it everyday.  Nice.

So I'll pay more attention.  And offer more goodies.  And post more ideas.  

I reorganized the workshop today, although my husband and I like to refer to it as the studio because that sounds so big time.  I piled up my fabrics and put cute little jars and things to hold the seam rippers and such.  It will be perfect after a run to IKEA which really isn't in the near future if I'm being completely honest.  I am so happy he doesn't mind the hum of my machine while he's trying to watch The Deadliest Catch or something truly manly.  If I had to work upstairs, I would be fine but not nearly as happy as I am in the thick of it all down here.

I'm happy with the result and I think it will help me organize my thoughts and dreams on what to make next, as organizing usually does for me.  Let's hope it works on this because I really love to sew and I always prefer to be sewing on extra beautiful, worthwhile things.

Burp Cloths



These really are the softest burp cloths I've ever come across.  It's not false advertising.  And finding great, soft fabrics to accompany them is FUN!

Two Boys




So I enjoyed making the Two Girls Towel and then a customer emailed me and asked if I could do two boys.  It was fun but I had no idea how to sew a boy's head until I realized he needed EARS!  Then it all came together.  She saw the proof today and was excited, yay!

The Sweetest Blanket


How do you take photos of things and give them the justice they deserve?  This blanket was my first attempt at replicating one that Elise used and loved.  A soft, summer blanket, it's bound by chenille and the fabrics are just the most beautiful thing (I still have some practice to do ont he binding!)  The back is lined with a micro polka dot and I do so wish the colors came out better in the photos:

Busy


I have been busy busy with some beach towels!  I am hoping to get some baby blankets made and some mother's day pillows done but for now I'm working on towels for little ones.  In fact, I'm almost out of pink stripes so if you know somewhere that has them, let me know!
